ROSAMUND CONWAY Obituary
August 16, 1921 – August 7, 2015
Died peacefully on Friday, August 7, surrounded by family. Born in England, Ros immigrated to Canada in 1953 with her beloved husband, Dr. Dominick Conway, who died in 1989. Ros is survived by her 8 children: Robin, Bryony, Dawn, Alison, Oliver (Bon), Diana, Florentia and Emily (Mark); 11 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Ros had a special interest in newcomers to Canada: she and Dominick opened their home to many people from war torn and troubled regions of the world, as well as to countless students, relatives and friends who needed a home or a meal. She cared deeply for these new friends. Ros was in all things guided by a strong faith. She will be sorely missed. A Funeral Service will be held at 1 p.m., Thursday, August 13, 2015 at Epiphany Anglican Church, 1290 Ogilvie Road, Ottawa. Family will greet visitors at the church from 12:15 p.m., and a reception will follow the service. Her family would like to thank the staff of the Garry J. Armstrong Centre for their kindness and exemplary care.

So sorry to hear about Ros, I have only just found out. She was such a lovely person and it was an honour to know her and all the family. Many memories of my childhood at Post Green.

Dear Conways I was sorry to hear that Ros had died. She was, as were all of you, very kind to me when I was in boarding school up the road. While this is sad news it has prompted many happy memories of visits to the Conway house.

I knew Ros and her family from growing up in the church that they attended, and my memories of her are very pleasant ones. I will never forget what a kind and gentle person she was.
The last time I saw Ros was at her 90th birthday party.

Allison, Muggsie here from your Elmwood Days. I am so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. She was such an engaging person, I am certain you will miss her greatly. I would enjoy exchanging e-mails with you in private. I will ask my cousin Ian Gold to contact Ollie with my e-mail address for forwarding to you. Hoping to hear from you soon. Muggsie

My great regrets. I remember her fondly.

We wish we had addresses, or even e-mail addresses for all of you, to be able to tell each of you how wonderful your mother was to us when we were first living in Ottawa as newly-weds. Her generous hospitality inspired and amazed us! We will always remember her sense of fun and humour and the way she reached out to those far beyond her family.
The service on Thursday was beautiful.
With love and sympathy to you all from Douglas and Blu
